What I'm writing: Currently working on a connected novel to the Boston-set baseball book OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. This will be Ashley's story (the heroine's sister).

What's on pre-order: THE SECRET BETWEEN THEM is coming out in April. This is a Wallis Point, NH connected book. Here's the back cover blurb:

They share more than a past

Wounded, weary and wiser, ex-marine Kyle Northrup had planned to stay far away from Wallis Point. But after his stepfather's passing, he must return home and claim his unexpected inheritance: the ice rink he grew up on. Except he has to share ownership with Jessica Hughes, the hometown girl who got away and whose figure skating career he ended. He'd hoped the rink would save him once more, as it had when he was a grief-stricken youth, but working with Jessica will be hard. Especially since his teenage infatuation is now full-blown adult attraction. And the last thing he wants to do is hurt Jessica again.

"Otis the Cat" update: Otis's illness this summer was caused by poisoning of some type (pesticides?). With the help of a great veterinarian and lots of TLC, he rallied. He's 15, but still going strong.
